Background technology
The required switch of the various functions of execution is all arranged in general electronic equipment.Such as, in being provided with the portable terminal computer of camera, possessed for carrying out camera zoom (ZOOM) function (amplifying/dwindle) and the required switch of shutter function.And, also occurred recently and can carry out camera zoom function and switch shutter function, that possessed multi-breal switch portion with a switch.
As accompanying drawing 1 is the relevant assembling of switch in the past body structure skeleton diagram.
The switch assembly comprised following formation in the past: the switch fuselage 10 that has possessed first switch portion 11, second switch portion 12, the 3rd switch portion 13 on assigned address; In order to make above-mentioned each switch portion 11,12,13 produce signals, selectively with each switch portion 11,12,13 contacted start button 20 etc.
And, each switch portion 11 of switch fuselage 10,12,13 will be contacted with rotary manipulation by the operation of pressing to start button 20, wherein, above-mentioned second switch portion 12 will be contacted by the operation of pressing of start button 20, and the left rotation and right rotation operation by start button 20 of first switch portion 11 and the 3rd switch portion 13 is contacted.
That is, above-mentioned start button 20 (in the drawings) side thereon is formed with the action button portion 21 of semicircular shape, is formed with at its downside and supports this start button 20 to be rotated and to press the support portion 22 of operation.
For this reason, on above-mentioned support portion 22, be formed with bullport 23 along its length direction, by this bullport 23 back shaft 30 has been installed, wherein, above-mentioned start button 20 will carry out the rotary manipulation of left and right directions with back shaft 30 as the center within certain interval range, and, this back shaft 30 will slide by this bullport 23, start button 20 be carried out with respect to switch fuselage 10 be pressed operation.
Wherein, sign 24 refers to press operation in order to ensure above-mentioned start button 20 elasticity in the accompanying drawing, and the spring member of resiliency supported is provided for start button 20.
Adopted when having the switch assembly that as above constitutes for carrying out camera function, the operation of pressing by start button 20, the second switch portion 12 that is touched will carry out the shutter function of camera, and operate by the left rotation and right rotation of start button 20, touch in first switch portion 11, the 3rd switch portion 13, to carry out the zoom function of camera.
But, for the situation of switch assembly in the past, because start button 20 has possessed by pressing and rotary manipulation touches each switch portion 11,12,13 structure has caused increasing switch assembly size ground problem inevitably, and, when above-mentioned start button 20 has been subjected to overload strength, also cause support portion 22 relatively thin on its structure easily by damaged problem.
Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of switch assembly that can realize the further miniaturization of switch and can improve confidence level.The invention is characterized in, comprise following component part: substrate; Dome switch is towards the thickness direction protrusion setting of substrate; Hall element, the dome switch both sides on substrate are provided with two at least along this plate face direction; Signal is pressed and produced to button in order to ensure dome switch, and the installation of this button should be able to be guaranteed the operation of pressing of dome switch, and it is installed the plate that also should guarantee along substrate and slides towards each Hall element one side; Magnet portion is formed on the button, along with button slides to Hall element one side, makes Hall element sense magnetic field, produces corresponding signal.
Described dome switch and each Hall element are installed on the same line.
Also comprise be formed at the contacted button contact site of dome switch on press projection.
The invention has the beneficial effects as follows that the present invention utilizes Hall element and dome switch to constitute the switch assembly, reached the further miniaturization of switch assembly and can improve the effect of confidence level.
